Wonderful Day Off

Today is Martin Luther King Day. The office is open, but half staff. I have today off, but have to work on Presidents Day. I got my immobilizer off on Tuesday and started therapy on Thursday. The therapy is quite "uncomfortable", but I know it will be worth it. I have to go twice a week for 4 - 6 weeks depending on how quickly I get my muscle tone and range of motion back - if I get it all back. The therapist said there is a chance I may not get 100% of it back. Well, I am going to work as hard as I can to get it all back. Anyway, without the immoblizer on I can get a lot done. I did a lot of cleaning over the weekend. I still can't scrub floors, but I can mop them. That helps a lot, I just can't get into the corners. I feel so much better when the house is clean and picked up.

The weather is fantastic right now. Over the weekend the highs were in the upper 30's so there was a lot of melting going on. I think everyone just feels better when the sun is shining. The down side is that as the snow melts off of the roofs, it creates a lot of ice dams on the edges of buildings. Leon spent a lot of time on the roof trying to get rid of the ice dams. We don't need any of that kind of damage to the house! I just heard the forcast - more storms coming in this week!!!! :( I am very tired of the winter already and we have a least 2 months left of winter weather. We haven't had a winter this cold and snowy for a long long time.

Just found out that Leon's brother Roy is doing very well. The last bone marrow test came back clear of cancer cells. FABULOUS!!!!! An answer to our prayers. I hope he continues to do well. Then he intends to move back to Minnesota. It will be nice for him to be back here where there is a lot more family to take care of him. It will be a lot of pressure off of Becky and Dennis.
